A versus cinematic trailer for NetherRealm Studios' Injustice: Gods Among Us was posted today by CVG, which shows some footage of Lex Luthor in action. It also features several other cast members, like Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman speaking dialogue that hints at the game's overall plot.

Injustice: Gods Among Us will be released on April 16, 2013 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U systems in North America. It will be on European shelves April 19th of this year.

looks awesome? from what? copying the trailers of UMvC3 from its opening cinematic!

the game still looks like sh!t with the MK9 engine, non-changed, non-improved, its like adding shenanigans ideas from MKvDC to MK9

this game gonna die like MK9, it will only have hype for a short period of time, and sooner or later will loose players interest, just look what happened to MK9... game is dead, community is dead, fan feedback dead, hype is dead, nobody gives a sh!t anymore cuz the game is boring as f*ck!

Who cares if it looks like MK? SSF4 and SFxT look alike but are different games. This game has different mechanics to MK (the block button being removed changes the game massively for a start)and it should be treated as it's own game.

#24 is right, they have listened to the community feedback and are improving on the game. The MK9 look and design was never a problem....the problem was/is that MK9 animations were stiff and not fluent. If Injustice runs smooth and the stage gimmicks dont become boring, it can become one of the top fighting games like SF4 and UMVC3.

Then I can tell if what they said was either immature, or ignorant. Some of the gripes people have with this game is all based on visuals. If this game played like Street Fighter it would'nt be unique.

First, Mortal Kombat 9 redeemed the ENTIRE series since Midway started to screw it up with the 3D games like Deception and Armaggeddon. It may not have gotten that popular, but a lot of MK fans were pleased by the revamped system. Blame Capcom and Namco for overshadowing MK instead of NetherRealms.

Second, MK vs DCU was trash, absolute trash. It was a utterly disgraceful waste of the use of the DC licenses, mainly due to the fact that the game was T-rated, NOT M-rated, despite, let's say this, the DC comics being dark and violent. So technically, you guys are saying that DC doesn't deserve yet another chance for a fighting game? Wow, way to be open-minded...

Finally, what did you guys expect? Warner Bros owns NetherRealms, and NetherRealms owns Mortal Kombat, so Warner Bros owns Mortal Kombat. Did you really think that WB would try to pitch that idea to another dev when they already have a competent one under their wings? Why asked Capcom or Namco when you have one sitting next to you? So, of course this game looks like MK, because it's from the same dev, and not a bad one either.

NetherRealms finally has another chance to use the DC characters in a fighting game of their own, and it's gonna feel like Mortal Kombat. They already have the MK engine ready to use, so why bother making a new one from scracth when you already have all the tools?

It will sell tone no matter if is Capcom or Netherealm it seems to me you like UMVC gameplay but to me and some other fighting community don't like it but everybody haves a different taste of style I think if Nethherealm make a DC vs Marvel game they will get in touch with the comics fans and the casual fan better then Capcom.

I'm just going to say it...... marvel vs capcom 3, not a great game. fun? yes, but not great. 1. lets look at both companies (marvel and capcom), they are both known for having a lot of content in their games. this does not have very much content. hero and heralds is pretty much the only thing this game has as for the content not expected in all fighting games. 2, offer to newcomers? trial mode at best. there is no real indications for new comers of mvc (or fighting games in general) on how to play. 3. online? both mk and mvc3 are bad at their connections, but mk has more modes (like king of the hill) and a much more satisfying rank type. plus lets face it their has been plenty of jokes about the player cards on mvc3. 4. Dlc? Lately capcom hasn't been getting a good respond on this so theirs your answer on that and the whole umvc3 coming out in less than a year of mvc3 thing. 5. story? many can say that story in fighting games don't matter but to many it does and mvc3..... hit once, miss 3 times. ending and final boss is okay but thats about it. no real reason to why they fight they just are.... street x tekkan may not have stated off well but its story was at least satisfying. 6. character roster? many were good choices with only one or 2 being bad (rocket raccoon) other then that solid. 7. feedback? well... I cant say they don't hear it, but I can say they don't listen when it counts all the time, Ed Boon tried on many accounts to add what we wanted like dlc characters while still adding things we weren't expecting (challenge tower and Freddy Kruger)and while I cant fairly say they haven't tried, in their own right, I can say it doesn't feel that way to me. When they wont even try to fix the games bugs which many have complained about and ARE serious issues their is room to talk bad about the game. and finally 8. worth the cost? well lets say like many you bought mvc3 vanilla that's $60.00 just in the U.S. then you buy the dlc characters $8.00 I'm not counting DLC costumes as that's really a choice not a real factor to the game itself. now u have too buy umvc3 because no one is gonna play vanilla now. that's $48.00. together that's $116.00. yeah... unless im buying a special edition of the games which comes with a statue and stuff I don't wanna pay that much for 1 game. UMVC3 is still fun but it has way too many flaws for players of it to complain about a game just because of how it looks or plays. My point? Don't start talk about how terrible a game COULD be unless you compare it to your game and all of its many, many flaws.

@48You DO realize that for years until mk9 came, everything that netherrealm released wasn't worth your money, right?

I'm getting this game but tbh I' don't think it will go far competitively. I see this one having a small community and struggling to make it into bigger tournaments. Looks cool, but I have my own issues with it. Course I doubted mk9 before it came out but I enjoyed that a LOT more than I thought I would. I'm giving this one a chance, though I know next to nothing about dc aside from some characters... I'm just hoping for specific ones....

This is a huge mk clone to the max, just with different skins. And I have a theory, since back in the day when they had those 'ultra realistic' looking characters, but had a weird choppy flow to it cause of the live action characters, well now they make all their games choppy and awkward looking in tribute :p. Seriously netherrelm, all your characters look like they're riddled with arthritis

People will have their opinions on what they see, and what we see in the gameplay videos is that injustice looks like MK9. the animation aren't fluid they seem just as stiff as the MK series ever was. Based on what we see and what we know we come down to that conclusion. I'm glad they took the block button away. I didn't like MK because of the Block button. Never got used to it and probably never will. That said I'm looking forward to it. I probably would like a demo some sort as I purchased PLaystation all stars and was disappointed that I didn't try it before I bought it.

Tbh it does look that way though, it's how netherrealm does their stuff. I doubt they made a completely new engine, so it will have its similarities. However like they did with mkvsdc and mk9, they'll just redo characters and reskin them in a sense... Like how green lantern is basically ermac and the flash is basically kabal (in mkvsdc and mk9)

@jhayze: Litterally a guy trying to burn a game title because it "copied" the style from a trailer from UMvC3... yes, this is how the mind of a hater works, trying to complai over the most absurd things.
